POSEIDONDAUGHTER

CHAPTER 2

Nicole, it's me Sairah your sister

"Wait, who are you?" said Nico.

But she had already fainted. She was about to fall, Nico hugged her to hold her up. Percy came running to him. They had an awkward moment of silence surprised at each others experience.

Sairah whom none of them knew acted as if she had known them well. Nico broke the silence " we have to Shadow travel back "

"But you just did it now and you want to do it again. This will drain your energy, you can't, I can't let you do it " said Percy

"She needs help Percy, and she needs it now " said Nico

Percy stared Nico but gave up. "Okay "said Percy.

Percy and Nico took her to back to dark place from where Nico had arrived. Zooop. One moment they were there and the next moment they were not. They soon hit the ground. Percy expected it to be the camp but it was the Forrest. Nico would have collapsed to the ground But Percy caught him midway.

How could he forget Nico was still a child and was still trying to get his powers under control. He could do it alone that to not for a long distance. But with someone he couldn't control his power, they were three in number

"Help Anyone Grover, Thalia, Annabeth, Will . " shouted Percy But no one came. They were still far from the camp.

Percy struggled but carried but of them half a mile and again shouted for help. No one came. He heard a familiar sound.

It was the sound of gushing water. As Percy was approaching it, he could feel his strength rejuvenate with every step he took towards the it. There he created a bubble big enough to carry all three of them to the shore. He hoped his father would understand the situation and not harm either of them. As Percy carefully carried them to the shore of Camp half blood. Will came running to them. As the bubble landed . Will came forward and helped Nico up who by now was half conscious and took him to the infirmary. Percy then put his hand under Sairah's neck to carry her. Sairah woke up, as soon as she saw Percy she screamed and tried to get away from Percy. She already was too weak and the running and shock even was to much to handle for her. She again fainted.

Astonished by the scream Percy fell back but still carried Sairah to the infirmary. On the way all the campers had come to see the new half blood. As soon as Percy saw Grover he told him to get Chiron.

Percy laid Sairah down to the bed near Nico's bed. Will had already given Nico a glass full of ambrosia and made him rest. Will then turned his attention towards the new camper and was treating her.

Soon Chiron, Thalia, Annabeth, Juniper, Grover and Clarisse had crowded around the new camper.

Will asked Percy "What is her name?"

"Sairah" said Percy without looking at him he was too busy looking at her. For the first time he was able to observe Sairah clearly. She had a small body structure. She seemed like she hasn't washed for a while now. She was wearing torn shoes which were larger than her foot. She was wearing a large size t shirt. Her hair was messy but tied to a ponytail. She wore a chain with a locket.

Chiron said to Percy " I think you would want to tell us what happened. "

Percy narrated the whole incident about Sairah's house, the stranger, her running away from him and rushing to meet Nico. All eyes were at Nico.

Everyone had the same questions "How were Nico and Percy connected to Sairah ? Why did she run away from Percy ? Why did she run towards Nico ?" There was an awkward silence.

"For the answers she will have to wake up "said Nico getting up to a sitting position only to be force down by Will.

"You are going to stay here for 3-4 hours and take rest only then will you be cured. Doctors advice. "

Slowly the campers went back and Nico drifted to sleep. Percy went to his cabin Will stayed back if Sairah woke up. Will too slowly drifted to sleep sitting on his chair between the two beds.

Within an hour Sairah opened her eyes. The first thing she said was "Nicholas"

SAIRAH point of view.

It couldn't have been a dream I saw Nicole. My brother. I knew he wasn't dead. I told everyone but no one believed me . No one could take him away from her. Where was he now?

To my surprise I wasn't at home. Slowly I remembered what had just happened. now notice my surrounding. It looked like a hospital, beds, shelves filled with all kinds of medicines.

I gasped when I saw a boy sleeping on the chair but stopped myself from making any noise. Then I saw him, Nicole asleep on the bed next to mine I approached him as quiet as possible and poked him.

"Nicole" no loud than a whisper so that the other guy won't wake up. Then I remembered Nicole wouldn't wake up as normal I could wake him up from his monstrous sleep. I used to pinch him and he used to scream and say 'go away Sairah let me sleep'. Switching back to reality . I was about to pinch him.

I heard someone "Sairah don't disturb Nico, he would kill u for doing so " but i didn't give it any importance. Nicole is my brother and I know him

I pinched him he woke up with a startled and shouted " HOW DARE YOU EVEN TOUCH ME WHEN I AM ASLEEP " he grabbed my hand tightly and was squeezing it. I struggled to pull out of his hold but he was to strong for me. And then he pushed me. I fell back.

"Nicole" I cried out to him I had tears in my eyes. I tried to get up. He had just shouted on me. During all the time we were together he never shouted on me, never did he even hurt or hit me not even playfully.

"Nicole , its me Sairah your sister." I said I would barely speak .

" I had only one sister Bianca and she knows when to wake me. " he said in a raised voice .

I was scared, very scared. I glanced at him once and I ran out of the room.
